Georgetown University Top Questions

There is SO much I wish I had known, which is exactly why I filled out this survey. You must consider the DIFFERENT social scenes. Georgetown does not have a big fraternity/sorority scene AT ALL. I am not a sorority girl, so I thought this was a good thing. However, I now believe that you do need frats/sororities as a means to socialize. At Georgetown, parties are very small and intimate usually with close friends, so I've found it hard to date and meet new people when it comes to parties.

That you did not have to take all of the classes just as it is stated in the book. I wish I knew how to be more studious

I wish I had known more about the student body, student life and the social/weekend life of the students/campus. It was a definite "culture shock" for me, my freshman year. I'm not sure if knowing more about the realities of the social circumstances would have changed my mind in terms of attending GU, but I feel as though I might have been more prepared, and consequently, less frustrated.

I wish that I had known the amount of tests that exist. There are few papers and projects, instead I have found that much of the curriculum is based on a few midterms and then a final.

Everything is expensive in a city - tuition is not the only thing that goes up. Academics are tough so if you can avoid working 20+ hours a week to pay the bills you should.

I wish I would have known more about the school's department in which I am majoring. I wish I would have known more about they type of students the school attracts.

How hard it would be to be successful.

That it should have been my first choice.

how conservative it is how wealthy the students are
